#MothOfTheDay is a stunner.

You may recognise it from my profile pic, but one came to visit the #moth box last night. The gloriously beautiful #green and black mosaic of:

MERVEILLE DU JOUR
Griposia aprilina

Larvae feed on oak.

One of my absolute favourite moths of the year.

UBC launches world’s first mushroom-powered waterless toilet

#UBC #researchers are launching the world’s first #mushroom-powered #waterless #toilet, the #MycoToilet, at the UBC #Botanical #Garden on September 26.

The prototype turns human waste into nutrient-rich #compost using #mycelia—the root networks of mushrooms—and features a modern, #sustainable design that can be dropped into parks, remote communities and areas without #plumbing.

Spring time in the orchard
#garden #flower #BloomScrolling

Here is the monthly photo looking up the allotment. Today's visit was the first for a month due to health reasons so it will have to do for August and September. The runner beans have finished cropping, the potatoes have been lifted and the wallflower plants in the foreground are nearly ready to be moved back home. We have started picking the apples (out of shot) with a view to making cider next month.

I've photo'd 50 of the 147 species of #hummingbirds i've seen, today's picture, the Wire-crested Thorntail is truly one of the treasures...

I FINALLY got around to decorating and firing some of the lidded tea bowls that I made a few months ago.

Here's one of my favorites: a bunny with radishes

if you want to see them all, I shared photos in my website's latest blog post
